Chapter 247

[Chapter 247 Battle Food]

is an answer that surprised Wells and Yale. Although the battle flag of friendship is very important to orcs and will not be given to others easily, compared with the only food merchant of a race, I believe that all People will choose to be the only grain merchant, rather than asking for a battle flag.

But Wells and Yale are smart people. They understood what Zhao Hai meant after thinking about it. Zhao Hai was telling them that between him and them, he would rather choose friendship than profit!

Wells looked at Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai also looked at Wells calmly. After a while, Wells raised his glass to Zhao Hai and said, “As you wish, Brother Zhao Hai.”

Zhao Hai also smiled slightly, Raising the glass in his hand, he said, “Thank you, Brother Wells.” The two of them smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

Men’s friendships are sometimes really strange, don’t say much, don’t do too much, maybe just have a drink and they will become good friends, but sometimes, this friendship needs to be tested.

Then the two drank two glasses of wine in a row, and then Zhao Hai said, “Brother Wells, where are you going now? If you continue to walk forward, you may encounter the cavalry of the Iron Fortress. If it’s not good, there will be a conflict.”

Wells smiled slightly: “The reason why I came here is just to see the iron fortress, and there is no special purpose. Now that I have met you, it is naturally impossible to be there. Going to the iron wall fortress, food is more important than seeing the scenery.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly: “It seems that you will not let us go, to be honest, I still want to go to the city of Beast God to open a shop, hehe, You know, I have not only grain, but also a lot of vegetables, all of which are fresh. You see there is a vegetable shop in the city of Beast God, will anyone come to buy it?”

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and said with a wry smile: ” My brother Zhao Hai, are you kidding me? Do I know how expensive vegetables are among the orcs? You can exchange the same weight of vegetables for an argali of the same weight, and this is still priceless. , do you think anyone will buy your food?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said: “It seems to be a really good thing, by the way, Brother Wells, you orcs like to eat mutton so much, do you have a lot of research on how to make mutton food? Can you make canned mutton? ?”

Wells was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No, my brother, you know, although cans can be stored for a long time, but there are not so many cans on the grassland, so we don’t have any. The way to make canned food is actually too much trouble, and to be honest, the taste of canned food is really not to our taste.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said: “Then what can you make here, and Is there a way to preserve mutton for a long time? Of course, the taste is still good.”

Wells looked at Zhao Hai in confusion: “My brother, what do you want to do? Why do you ask these questions?”

Zhao Hai said with a smile : “My brother, my territory is too big, but I don’t have many people. I need people, a lot of people, so I want to buy some slaves from you, and my food can be exchanged from you. There are many argalis, but these argalis will not live for long when they reach the territory of the human race, and I have not done any business related to argali on the mainland. In this case, if I bring those argalis back If you go to the mainland, you can only die, so I want to find a way to kill the argali and process their meat so that they can exist for a long time, so that I can slowly find a way to put these The mutton meat has been bought, what do you think?”

Of course Zhao Hai didn’t tell the truth, he threw the platter into the space, and he could fit as much as he could, but there was one point that Zhao Hai had to take up his post, he wanted to make more money. More money, if he can enter a mutton deep processing plant, then he will make more money.

Now he has a large territory, but if he just uses this territory to farm land, it is impossible to make too much money. If there is no room for cheating, Zhao Hai is not at all possible now. With so much capital, if you want to make money, you must have factories and industries, so that you can make more money.

Moreover, Zhao Hai is still a little worried. He can buy slaves from the orcs, but the slaves of the orcs will not farm the land. Although they can learn, it will take a long time. In addition to winter, those slaves are almost There’s nothing left to do, it’s better to have a side hustle.

Wells agreed with Zhao Hai’s statement. In fact, many businessmen who do business with orcs and cooperate with them have meat processing factories or leather factories in the human race, and the high-level orcs also know about them.

Who are the merchants? They are the ones who maximize their profits. They want to bring the cattle and sheep from the grasslands back to the mainland. In addition to selling some of them directly, there are also a large part of them who have to go through deep work.

Sheepskin can be used to make clothes, shoes, cowhide and other monster skins, and can be made into leather armor or some other leather products. How can those businessmen give such a big piece of cake to others, so they are not very powerful except for some In addition to the small merchants, many big merchants who do business with orcs have their own factories on the mainland, and their wealth is also very amazing.

However, the so-called meat products on the mainland are really bad. Except for canned meat, it is ham and the like. There is no other way.

And after what they did, the price of beef and mutton on the mainland has always been high, and many civilians can’t afford it at all.

Zhao Hai didn’t think about changing this situation, because in that case, the chain of interests he touched was too big, and he couldn’t stand it.

But he can develop some new foods, such as some unique foods on the grassland, so he will ask Wells what mutton products can be stored in the grassland for a long time.

Wells thought for a while and said, “There is really a way of making mutton that suits the conditions you just mentioned, but there is one that your human race might not like.”

Zhao Hai said with a smile: “Let’s talk about it, it’s better than wasting it.”

Wells smiled and said: “Battle food is the most commonly used food for orcs during wartime. This food is actually dried meat. We killed the beasts, then cooked and air-dried. After several processings, , the animal meat will become jerky. This kind of jerky is very small in size. The meat of an argali can even be put into a grain bag in the end, but don’t ignore these meats, because the small size is exactly what he The biggest advantage is that when the orcs are fighting, everyone will bring such a bag of jerky. When eating, as long as there is a piece, boil it with water, the meat will grow again, and a small piece of meat is enough. It is the best food for an adult orc to eat.”

Zhao Hai nodded, he had heard of this method. As a puppet fan Zhao Hai, when he was on Earth, I saw a post on a forum, there was a method of making Mongolian military rations during the Genghis Khan period, which was similar to what Wells said. Although Zhao Hai didn’t know whether the post was true or not, what Wells said should be real.

This method of jerky seems to be of little use to Zhao Hai, because it is troublesome to make, even if it is made, I am afraid that it will not be sold. People who can afford mutton will not buy this kind of jerky. It is also impossible to sell it to the Terran army on the mainland, because the Terran army has its own supply system, and it is not necessarily a cold for this kind of jerky. People who can’t afford mutton are afraid that they can’t afford this kind of jerky, because after the jerky is processed, it is afraid that it is more expensive than ordinary mutton.

But on second thought, this kind of jerky is not completely without market. On the contrary, the market for this kind of jerky is not small. Zhao Hai almost forgot that there is a very special professional group on this continent, mercenaries. !

On Earth, mercenaries only exist in legends. It is impossible to see Zhao Hai as an otaku, and mercenaries on Earth will not eat this kind of jerky. Those mercenaries have their own supply lines.

But it’s different here in Ark Continent. Those mercenaries are almost all running for a living. Sometimes they will take some special tasks, and a task will be very long, so they need to prepare a lot of food. , and sometimes have to rely on hunting some monsters to solve the food problem.

But there are many special tasks. They have no way to get additional supplies. They can only solve them by themselves. Before, the main food for mercenaries on the mainland was generally a hard-faced flatbread. This kind of flatbread is very It’s hard, and it must be soaked in water when eating. This kind of cake can also be stored for a long time, and the price is not cheap. Does it taste good? You still don’t count on it.

If Zhao Hai really made this kind of jerky, it would definitely be a good news for those mercenaries. This kind of jerky not only guarantees the taste, but also is easy to carry and more nutritious. It is definitely the preferred food for mercenaries.

Laura obviously didn’t think of this, and Wells didn’t think of it either. To be precise, the taste of these rations can only be regarded as normal. If it wasn’t for wartime needs, the orcs wouldn’t make this kind of jerky.

After thinking about the use of jerky, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but say with a smile: “Thank you, my brother, your suggestion is really wonderful.”

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and said, “I Brother, you have to know that the taste of jerky is not very good, and we orcs rarely make it, unless it is during the war, and it must be the kind of battle that takes a long time and travels a long way. Make this kind of jerky.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said: “My brother, of course I know this, but this kind of jerky is very suitable for a type of people, that is, mercenaries, there are no mercenaries here for orcs, but There are a lot of mercenaries in the human race, my brother, the mercenaries are fighting all the time, this kind of food is the best food for them.”

Wells and Laura are the same Stunned, they really didn’t think about it. Laura didn’t have many contacts with mercenaries before. Her business was mainly dealing with ordinary people, and mercenaries were still one level behind ordinary people. Said it was completely two worlds people.

But you have to admit that there are still a lot of mercenaries on the mainland. It is a force that no one pays much attention to, but he does exist.

Laura’s eyes lit up when she heard what Zhao Hai said. Her business sense beyond ordinary people made her discover the business opportunities at once, but she thought that all of this should be carefully investigated.

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and said: “Brother Zhao Hai, you are really a smart person. You can come up with such an idea. I am really curious now, where exactly is your territory.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly: ” Brother Wells, my identity is not very popular in the human race, hehe, so no one knows where my territory is, well, let’s not talk about that, I want to get a storefront in the city of Beast God, this needs to be Your help.”

Wells said with a smile: “My brother, what kind of store are you opening? I want all the food you have, and I want all the food you have. What are you doing?”

Zhao Hai smiled . He wrote: “My brother, believe me, you can’t eat what I have in my hand, you can’t eat the vegetables alone, hehe, of course, everything in my hand can be given priority to Hercules. The cattle supply, and then sell it to others, okay?”

Wells said with a smile: “My brother, what I’m waiting for is your words, you don’t have to worry about the store, I can help you solve it, but brother , you must prepare food for me. This time we will go to the buffalo and bullfighting clan first. The buffalo clan is my teacher’s race, and the bullfighting clan is also related to me. My four sisters are all married. There, so I want to solve their food problem first.”

Although Wells told Zhao Hai about his situation and wanted to cooperate with Zhao Hai, he still couldn’t fully trust Zhao Hai. Those things about Zhao Hai can be found out by just looking for a tribe in the grassland. The struggle between him and Gasol has long been known to everyone on the grassland, and there is nothing special about it.

But food is really important to Wells. If Zhao Hai really has a lot of food in his hands, then he has the hope of defeating Gasol, but the premise is that Zhao Hai really has a lot of food.

Zhao Haidao has no objection. For him, cooperating with Wells is just to get the friendship battle flag of the Hercules Bull Clan. Just like Zhao Hai said, he has food in his hand, so he has nothing to worry about in the Orc Prairie. Selling it, but being able to get the Hercules Bull Clan’s Friendship Battle Flag will have many benefits for his future business in the Orc Prairie.

He only sells food. What Wells will do with the food and how to use it has nothing to do with him. To be honest, Zhao Hai really doesn’t want to get involved in the battle between Wells and Gasol.

The situation of the orcs here is very different from that of the human race. The human race is already hostile to the orcs on the orc grassland. If he is rashly involved in the internal struggle of the orcs, there will be no good fruit to eat. Well, he doesn’t do this kind of thing.
